Scan Of The Markets
There has been a reset in the majority of developing forex trends as one of the top-performing currencies as of late such as the Canadian Dollar deflated its momentum last Friday while the likes of the Japanese Yen corrected higher. This leaves the Kiwi as the main currency to still consider short exposure conditional to entries on lower time scales.
In my assessment of the directional biases for this Monday, we’ve transitioned from over 20+ markets in trending mode to just a dozen at this point. Let the market show its hand through the higher timeframes once again early in the week and be ready to re-engage in whatever pairs show the clearest supply/demand imbalances.
There are no economic news of note for this Monday, with the narrative towards the US Presidential election race growing in dominance. We’ve also learned that COVID-19 cases in many parts of the world continue a steady climb while there has been reports over the complete unwillingness of the US and China to resume trade talks.
Later in the week, remember, we’ll have the release of the July FOMC minutes, which to me represents the event risk for the week. Amid the limited amount of information through the July FOMC statement and Jay Powell press conference, this is an event that may move the markets if unknown clues such as stronger forward guidance heading into the 18 September FOMC meeting are given.

In order to assess the market momentum of a particular asset, I’ve promoted for years the idea of using what I call the smart money tracker. The settings and the indicator can be obtained via our Discord room, where traders from all walks of life interact frequently. In this video, I lay out the elements I look into to call trend directions.
PROJECTION TARGETS
The usefulness of the 100% projection resides in the symmetry and harmonic relationships of market cycles. By drawing a 100% projection, you can anticipate the area in the chart where some type of pause and potential reversals in price is likely to occur, due to 1. The side in control of the cycle takes profits 2. Counter-trend positions are added by contrarian players 3. These are price points where limit orders are set by market-makers.
